FROM: Mike McCluskey, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Keith Opalewski, Parking Manager I
SUBJECT: Disposition of Property at 972 Nipomo Street and 609 Palm Street
CAO RECOIVD4ENDATION:
Adopt a resolution declaring the buildings at 972 Nipomo Street and 609 Palm Street to be
surplus property and direct staff to prepare a bid package and offer the property for sale to the
highest qualified bidder.
DISCUSSION:
972 Nipomo Street
The property located at 972 Nipomo Street, along with the adjoining property at 609 Palm
Street, was purchased by the City's Parking Fund in August of 1995 as a potential site for a
future parlang structure. The combined properties will be converted to a parking lot. The
building on the 972 Nipomo lot is a circa 1900's house that had been converted to an office
prior to its sale. The house is currently listed as a contributing building on the City's historical
building list.
As a result of the building's historical significance, the City has been approached by two
different private parties who are interested in acquiring the house and relocating it. At this time,
both interested parties are in the process of acquiring lots for possible relocation. However, a
condition of purchase would be that the purchaser have a known site and the house would have
to be moved prior to the start of the parking lot conversion project. The parking lot project is
tentatively scheduled to take place some time in late summer. Staff strongly favors selling the
building in lieu of demolishing it for the pending parking lot conversion.
609 Palm Street
The building at 609 Palm Street is an old metal building which had operated as an auto repair
and welding shop in years past. The previous owner of the building had attempted to sell it
prior to the City taking possession of the property, but to no avail. Although staff does not
anticipate there will be many bidders for the metal shed, it is worth a try to sell it in order to
help reduce the costs for the site preparation of the pending parking lot project.
CONCURRENCES:
The Community Development Department has concurred that it is in the interest of the City to

preserve 972 Nipomo as a historic building as much as is realistically possible. The Cultural
Heritage Committee has also been informed of our attempt to save this building and have it
relocated and restored within the city limits if at all possible.
FISCAL EWPACT:
Stair does not anticipate that the actual sale of tE buildings will generate any significant revenue
for the parking fund. In all likelihood bids would probably range from $100 to $1,000, even
with --impeting bidders. The high cost of relocating older buildings like this one severely limits
what _ prospective buyer will pay in order to make the project economically feasible.
Although the sale of the house will not generate any substantial amount of money, in this
particular case the preservation of the building could actually save the demolition costs
($30,000+) that have been identified in the budget for creating the temporary parking lot.
Relocating the house could be a financial win-win situation for the City and the parking fund if
the house can be auctioned off and moved off site. In the event no bids are received or the bids
do not meet the criteria for purchase of the house and metal shed, staff would recommend to
proceed with the parking lot conversion and the subsequent demolition of both buildings.
